Successful introduction of major new systems into complex medical
organizations requires an effective blend of good technical and
organizational skills. The technically best system may be woefully
inadequate if its implementation is resisted by people who have low
psychological ownership in that system. On the other hand, people with
high ownership can make a technically mediocre system function fairly
well. Managing Technological Change focuses on the successful
strategies for implementation of information systems within medical
organizations as well as on effective management strategies for the
altered organization once the new systems are in place.
